What is it?
A handy clothes steamer and iron.
Good points?
The Propress Handheld Clothes Steamer is capable of revolutionising the way you care for your garments and fabrics.
With its lightweight and compact design measuring at 9x13x29.5cm (3.5x5.1x11.6 inches) and weighing only 750g (1.65lbs), this steamer is a breeze to handle, making it perfect for both home and travel use.
Crafted with an anti-friction, non-stick coated aluminium iron plate, the gadget effortlessly steams and presses fabrics with precision. Its versatility shines through with its ability to be used vertically or horizontally, so a traditional ironing board is not needed.
The Rapid Flow heat exchanger ensures fast heating, while the thermostatic heat control guarantees gentle treatment for delicate materials, ranging from vintage clothes to fine furniture.
Equipped with a detachable water tank, offering two options: a standard 130ml tank or a larger 230ml Big Belly tank, extending your runtime from seven to 13 minutes.
The device promises to kill 99.9 per cent of bacteria and effectively remove odours and bedbugs without the need for harsh chemicals. Notably, it doubles as a dry iron, providing added versatility in your garment care routine.
Two convenient steaming modes and an automatic shut-off feature provide greater safety when left unattended.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
